Glasgow Podcart:
TYCI; By Women for Women

Glasgow Podcart is a Scottish based music/arts website which produces weekly podcasts showcasing the best in grass roots and unsigned artists, not just from Scotland, but around the world. The podcast endeavors to expose as much new talent as possible, no matter what style, what size, or how established—Glasgow Podcart believes everyone deserves a platform to showcase their work.

The ladies of Glasgow Podcart, Halina and Kirsten, are sharing this platform with TVD with both missives from Glasgow you’ll only find right here, and of course the podcast itself. —Ed.

As I increase in age, I feel myself becoming more of a feminist by the week. Since starting Glasgow Podcart, I do feel the music community that I am part of is male dominant. This is not a bad thing, but the female and male thought process is so drastically different and sometimes you do crave that female gene to understand you a bit better and communicate with.

Two girls who have made a massive impact not only on Glasgow’s music circuit, but my faith in music are MILK—the DIY collective Hannah Currie and Aileen Lynn started as their glorious promotion outfit just over a year ago—are now one of the most exciting collaborations that I have witnessed.
